SarahJayne Edwards, 39, said she was incredibly nervous on the Jakarta to Bangkok flight.
Edwards said she started to compose a letter to her husband in case the plane went down.
“I grabbed (her three-ear-old daughter) AsiaLilly and cuddled her and told her we had hit a raincloud so it was going to feel like a rollercoaster. Broke my heart when she said ’mummy I’m scared!” she wrote, according to MailOnline.
The blood on the seat came from a man who wasn’t wearing his seatbelt. He hit his head after he was tossed into the air.
